Josephine wears a fairly simple style when compared to most, not trying to stick out or draw any sort of attention towards her. Mostly wearing a sort of duster jacket with most of her outfits as well as her signature hat, one of the few things of hers that was left when she awake after being left for dead, and that she doesn’t let anyone touch. Throughout her travels and living with the gang, she isn’t one to care about having dirt on her clothes or under her nails as she often isn’t able to always wash up, but she makes sure that she never has a bad odor on herself.

Josephine tries to keep a low profile whenever she is out, being a Revenant with grey eyes doesn’t exactly help with this, though keeping her hat low over most of her face does. Though the things that are noticeable about Joe is the scars she has scattered across her body. Multiple lashing across her back from when she was learning to be part of the gang and punishments for messing up on jobs, on her side she still has her scars from where Boone shot her, as well as a few cuts here and there just from over the years. Also in her red hair hair she tends to braid small objects into it out of habit and stressed, mostly small beads or other small knick knacks she finds.

Josephine is a pretty hard book to read. From being in the Wyatt Gang she was taught to be like one of the boys in the gang and quickly forgetting all the proper manners and other ladylike traits her mother had tried to instill in her.
Usually she would have two sides of a personality, the one she would have around people she trusted and her gang. Where she was one to quickly get involved in insulting each other around the fire pit. She would always have the back of the people she was loyal to and to her loyalty was a big thing taught to her by Boone. Also was known to keep a smile on her face and joke around with others, but in the end always caring about those that had her back and always having theirs.
The other half of Josephine, mostly Pretty Joe, was a woman who kept a stoic expression and didn’t care about others. Mostly keeping a cold tone in her voice and not afraid to say what she thinks or wants, knowing she can keep it up. This was the persona that Josephine has had over the years since becoming a Revenant.
Josephine will mostly keep to herself when in towns and ignoring others, hoping they will do the same for her, keeping a serious face and always having a cold tone with people.

H I S T O R Y
Most of Josephine's past she doesn't care too much for, knowing now that none of it matters and she can't change any of it, and even if she could, she would only change the most recent disaster. Though it is quiet a tale to tell, which doesn't happen often
Josephine was born to a farm family that lived just off Florence and lived a secluded life on a ranch. They lived a mostly normal life as they were able to live comfortably with their farm, only taking hits in the winter, but were still able to survive due to her father's saving and financial planning. There had been rumors of outlaws and bandit gangs moving closer to the town of Florence and Josephine's mother brought up some worries, but her father Theodore wasn't worried and mostly stubborn, plus he always had the family shotgun that hung over their furnace that protected his father and his father's father.
On a hot summer night when Josephine was about 16, hollers and screams quickly woke up Josephine, she had fallen asleep in the barn in a pile of hay, something she did often as she enjoyed the summer air. When she peaked out of the barn she saw her families cottage up in flames and fires spreading across the fields. Before Josephine could scream or run away, a man grabbed her from behind and easily dragged her over to where two bodies laid, her parents, and two men were arguing. Josephine could barely understand what they were talking about, but something about the guy in charge, their leader, upset about how things unfolded, she was still struggling against the man holding her.
The man that grabbed Josephine interrupted the two men with a smirk on his face talking about how he found some fun in the barn and wanting to take her back to their camp, talking about the things he could do with her. At this point Josephine bit her hand and was dropped and hid behind some boxes. The man that she bit was aggravated with being bit and quickly pulled out his revolver and aimed at her, then followed by one shot, Josephine closing her eyes in fear. Though when she opened her eyes the man that had grabbed her and bit her was on the ground and the leader was tucking his own gun away and slowly walked over to Josephine. He introduced himself, Boone Wyatt, leader of the Wyatt outlaw gang, and made sure she was okay, wiping the tears from her face. Boone turned back to his men, quickly telling them to finish gathering their things and to head back to camp.
Boone stayed for a bit and talked to Josephine, telling her it would be okay and offering for her to come with him, promising to keep her safe. As Josephine was brought back to their camp, men thought she was a trophy brought by Boone, but after being met with blades, he stated that she was no trophy, that she would become one of them, an outlaw, and be welcomed into their outlaw family. One of the Wyatt's, and quickly changing her last name to match.
Life in the gang wasn't easy for Josephine, even though she was a girl Boone made sure she wasn't treated lightly. But this was good, as it hardened Josephine and made her tougher than the average city gal, especially being younger than most of the gang and wanting to prove she was equally and sometimes even better than them. It wasn't long before she started going into towns and cities with the gang for stick-ups as well as highway robberies, often being the distraction with her pretty face, but still being as brutal as the others when it came to altercations and she wasn't afraid to get her hands pretty.
Even though Boone didn't give her any treatment, it wasn't a secret within the gang that after a couple of years Boone and Josephine were intimate with each other. Josephine made sure people didn't think that she would be treated better for this and numerous times getting into fights and altercations with some of the others, and after every fight, even the ones where she would end up bloody and injured, the other respected her and she would have respect for them.
Over the years Josephine settled in good with the gang and they were making more and more money. One night when Josephine and a few other outlaws were coming back from a job that ended up being a bust, they came back to the camp destroyed and bodies around them slaughtered. After talking to the few people that survived and finding Boone in his tent barely alive she was told what had happened. State marshals had somehow found the gang and had attacked shortly after Josephine and a few other left. They knew their numbers, their stashes, everything. Because of this there was talk of a mole and through the discussions, Josephine was accused of being the one to rat them out. Her stash wasn't raided, it had been her idea to try to rob a local postal coach that coincidentally didn't show up this night, as well as rumors of Josephine wanting to leave the gang behind, even though she enjoyed the gang life.
It didn't take long for the survivors to get agitated and demand Boone do something about Josephine ratting them out to authorities and trying to run off. As more information came out Josephine stood her ground, getting defensive and threatening to kill the men accusing her, but Boone wrapped his arm around and a bit away. As the two of them got around one of the destroyed stage coaches, and two gunshots were heard. Boone had his revolver pressed against Josephine's side and fired twice, letting her fall to the ground as she began to bleed. The last thing Josephine remembered before blackout was Boone just looking at her and shaking his head before walking off.
Josephine woke up after what felt like days or even weeks later, confused about what all had happened. Quickly realizing she was left for dead but somehow alive, feeling her side where Boone had shot her, but there was no wound, only a scar. She felt fatigued and tired, but slowly gathered herself to sit up and look around, whatever was left of the camp after the attack was salvaged, but for some reason Boone left Josephine's things, whether they were left as a memorial of who he once trusted, or as a way to forget her. As she stumbled to what was left of her things she saw in the mirror that her eyes were different. Silver. And she quickly realized he became something she's only heard in legends from Boone, something they should always avoid. A Revenant. Josephine gathered what was left of her things, and set out on the road, swearing revenge on her former outlaw family one day
Life was hard at first for Josephine, but after a couple of days she realized the legends of a Revenant were true and the abilities she had before had been enhanced, quickly finding out after getting into a few bar brawls as well as some highway men trying to rob her and quickly finding out the consequences of that. She began trying to track down what was left of the Wyatt family, but was having troubles as the news of the Pinkerton killing most of them and her trail quickly went cold. Josephine began using her skills to do contracts by local towns, not because she wanted to help, but for the coin. Occasionally she would be recognized as Pretty Joe and would have to fight her way out of a town and quickly start over.
Josephine had only met a few other Revenants over time, and didn't trust any of them. Not knowing what caused them to become what they are as well as not even knowing what she was put her on edge, and sometimes a few altercations. When Josephine walked into BlackWater, she felt something was off and decided she wasn't going to stay, only stopping by the general store for a few necessities before she was going to leave. Well, that was the plan...

Being a Revenant, Josephine has been granted the usual abilities that a Revenant receives; enhanced stamina, increased healing, better senses as well as other normal abilities. Though there are some smaller things that make Joe stand out from other Revenants.
The few things that make her a bit more unique is her more nocturnal style abilities. The first thing is that her vision at night and in dark places is better than not only humans and most other Revenants, though most things appear in brighter shades of grey instead of everything being pitch black. Also, and this might have been due to her training, but Josephine is able to function normally throughout the day with minimum rest.
Though as she did get enhanced abilities, she does lack in the strength department compared to other Revenants, but still stronger than normal humans. Joe mostly relies on her increased speed, agility, stamina and reaction time more than her strength.
T A L E N T S
Knife Throwing: Josephine wanted to stand out when part of the gang, outside of being one of the few females in the gang and the only one that actively went out of jobs and robberies, so she would spend most of her time practicing and perfecting her form, eventually getting more accurate with a blade than most people were with a pistol. Even once beating someone in a dual when they had a pistol and she was armed with only a knife.
Rifle Handling: When Joe first joined the gang, she envied the rifle Boone would carry around and always wanted to have her own. She quickly ahd Boone train her with long rifles and other repeaters and became one of the best in the gang. Though due to her focusing on blades and rifles, she is just about average with a pistol and much rather have her rifle.
Horseback Riding: Being part of a gang and being apart of robberies means you have to be good at getting away, and the best way to get away is to race off on a horse. Josephine had a little bit of practice when she was a younger with living on a ranch with her family, but she really began to excel when she was part of the Wyatt gang. She had to, if she didn't, she would've been left behind long ago.
S T R E N G T H S
Charm: Starting at a young age within the gang, Josephine would after act as distraction to stop passing by stage coaches, people always wanted to help the lost pretty girl. This was the beginning of her finding out she can use her looks and the flutter of her eyes to get noticed when she wanted to, as well as often talking her way out of things.
Rifles & Knives: With her Revenant abilities, she’s one of the sharpest shooters out there with a rifle, and even prefers using it in closer combat over a pistol or a shotgun, though will most of the time use her set of blades.
Gambling: Joe has always been interested in playing cards and winning also seems to increase her appreciation of gambling. It isn’t often that she loses, and it might be argued that maybe she’s got enhanced luck due to being a Revenant, but Josephine will continue standing by one fact, people just suck at it.
W E A K N E S S E S
Trust: After what happened with the Wyatt gang, Josephine isn’t one to trust someone, always expecting to be betrayed or stabbed in the back again. This has led to some issues in the past where she’s either ran out during a job because she thought they would turn on her, often having a gun under the table pointed during a deal, or sometimes even betraying them first.
Lonewolf: With her trust issues and constantly on the road, Josephine doesn’t have many people she would consider friends or anything similar, as well as insisting on working alone on a few bounties in some cities. This has caused some bad experiences sometimes when she was on her own, but she has always been able to walk away, so far.
